Dodge Charger RT KNOCKING Noise | I Cant Believe This! (MUST WATCH)

[@DJGRoc]

I had a similar issue where the center bearing went out. The driveshaft was just banging around inside the center safety loop. I ended up putting in a 1-piece carbon fiber driveshaft from DSS. One of the best upgrades you can do for any Charger or Challenger. You can do it yourself even, as it's not complicated at all. Hardest part is removing the exhaust.

[@tribeofbenjamin6]

Same issue

[@DJGRoc]

@@tribeofbenjamin6 So you can either get a new 2-piece drive shaft, which could be covered under warranty depending on the model year & mileage of your car. Or just get an aftermarket 1-piece driveshaft. Aluminum or CF, doesn't matter. Either will make a vast improvement over the stock 2-piece. If you daily drive though, I would suggest going with aluminum though.

[@TheTrthegreatone]

@B . Blessed Beats Old!! I have a 2014 Charger R/T I bought 7 yrs ago and she's still running strong. These cars will last you quite a long time if you take care of them. Things happen, these cars are machines and machines do break down.

[@knifedudetodd]

Glad it wasn't your motor or transmission! Hopefully you will get it straightened out and not cost too much $$$

[@bblessedbeats]

Honestly the RT is getting old, its expected for something to get a little lose at this point. But stay positive and find out the next steps to getting this car back on point. Hopefully it won't be insane. 💯💯💯

[@haroldmccarty1333]

I know I’m late but I had the same problem. 2015 and up chargers and challengers you CANNOT change just the center carrier bearing anymore. You have to change the entire drive shaft (trust me I tried changing just the bearing on my +15 pursuit) a new driveshaft you can get from mopar direct for 800 dollars or an aftermarket 1 piece for the same price. It’s easy to do by yourself. 6 torx bolts connecting to the transmission. 8 torx bolts connecting to the rear end. Two bolts connecting the center bearing. There’s two metal braces that need removed and some exhaust brackets. Easy job just expensive

[@notatrolljustahater7902]

Thanks for the follow up! I was going to look for a center bearing, but now that you state this, I guess I'm looking for a driveshaft instead. Any suggestions on which to buy?

[@haroldmccarty1333]

@@notatrolljustahater7902 It’s been a while, but I believe I just bought OEM/Mopar if I’m not mistaken. It’s been so long I’d have to dig and find it again 😭lol

[@thatchargerguy]

You actually can buy a aftermarket carrier bearing now. You just have to cut the old one off. Save yourself $700 or $1000 with labor costs. I was unfortunate and didn’t find out about the aftermarket hardware until it was too late. I got a whole new drive shaft.

[@RTLife]

i started laughing when you asked if that is expensive hahaha! At least you know what it is now though.

[@theknow7557]

I have a 2014 RT Max with Max Care warranty. Glad I paid $2400 for it. I have had to use it several times and my ride only has 78000. Chargers are nice to look at and fun to drive when they have no issues, but when they do repairs can be pricey for the price point.

[@kixxthemanz437]

I’m telling you it’s the sway bar bushings not the driveshaft, I had the same problem, the dodge dealer told me I needed a new trans, then a drive shaft, here it was a $25 for 2 bushings on the sway bar and now it’s quiet and drives fine

[@HemiMuscle]

It was 100%, and the drivesshaft dealership fixed it under warranty

[@airborne392hemid8]

I was right. The parts that take the hardest stress is the drive shaft mounts and u joints. Your half shaft and bearing takes slot of stress too. Put these parts on your list too because they are next. When you put your foot into it, those parts wear out faster. You are lucky that your drive shaft come through the floor. Done that been there

[@brapprapp20]

On my 06 Magnum RT I bought new, at about 2012 my left rear wheel/assembly started making grinding noise on even the slightest left hand turn. I couldn’t tell by getting under the car. Turned out the rear knuckle was broken at the top, basically allowing the wheel to lean in at the top on any left turn, and the rotor was grinding against the the broken top. Fucking bonkers. They had to replace both sides because the replacement was iron(steel) instead of aluminum. Damn. I’ve had some fucked up shit go wrong on my car. But I have a Lifetime Bumper to Bumper Chrysler Warranty so…….it’s not going anywhere for the rest of my life. But it’s a double edged sword.
